Shoes

Her shoes were worn and ragged yet she seemed not affected by them at all.
Sure her toe would be sticking out a little bit from each shoe, but these shoes were special to her.
These shoes had taken her too many places in life, as she had walked everywhere she wanted to go.
She walked across valleys and plains, climbed mountains and hiked trails.
She walked across the desert and along the roads.
Her shoes became faded over time, but she didn't see these shoes as anything less after they became worn out.
Many people who encountered her on her journey would say that she needed new shoes, some even insisted that they buy her a pair but she would refuse.
She would tell them "Shoes are shoes no matter their condition, they still will help you go to the places you need to."
So on she went for years, walking and walking with the same pair of shoes until one day the shoes became beyond disrepair and she could no longer walk in them.
She took the pair of shoes off and kept walking until the day she died.
When her body was found the pair of worn out shoes were found clenched in her hands.
